Matt Maddock, a Michigan state legislator, shared several posts on his social media account on August 7, 2025, addressing issues related to criminal justice policies, state legislation, and nonprofit funding.

In a post made at 13:33 UTC, Maddock criticized Washington D.C.'s bail system. He stated: “‘Knowing they will be almost immediately released’ DC is a zero bail, taxpayer-funded bail state and citizens pay hundreds of million a year to release criminals on bail.” This comment reflects ongoing debates about the impact of cashless bail systems and their costs to taxpayers.

Later that morning at 13:51 UTC, Maddock commented on policy changes in Michigan by writing: “Every state is a giant swimming pool. @MichiganDems put sharks in our pool with RTW repeal and all the other crap they did. We have sharks and cold water. Ppl ain’t swimming here in our pool.” His reference to "RTW repeal" points to Michigan Democrats' decision to overturn Right-to-Work laws, which had previously allowed workers to choose whether or not to join unions as a condition of employment.

In another post at 13:54 UTC, Maddock discussed funding directed toward nonprofits. He wrote: “Reality: she gets 10m. Goes to leftist nonprofits who in turn, tithe back to the communist party. Whole thing is a scam to get tax money into hands of communist party.” The message suggests skepticism about how public funds are allocated through nonprofit organizations.

Matt Maddock has been an active voice within Michigan politics and has frequently used social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to comment on legislative actions and public spending practices.
